Group, TABLE - with 50 salt buckets and configured as time series table. Having pre split into 50 SALT buckets we disabled the region splits using max file size as 100 GB for the split.
I see some of the keys got split and created stale regions. no writes are happening into the region f3f0a711370c8acb88f5294ec9dfa648 region - f3f0a711370c8acb88f5294ec9dfa648 start key - .\x00x\00 ...

( all x\00 ) salt bucket byte - hash(row key) % N salt buckets I was expecting only salt bucket bytes for the start and end keys. Instead I see row keys have been appended to the salt bucket byte and those regions are not used. Any pointer what caused the split and how to prevent. Command to remove stale region and restore as contiguous start and end keys. region - 7feabc1eea26727c03366efba27f2016 start key - .\x00\x00 .. ( all x\00 ) end key - /\x00\x00 ...
